It's great to have the Small Tortoiseshells back, I had 7 or 8 today on a walk with my wife :-)Alan Paveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286527051679271536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27062148993749694.post-16322523601732341022011-06-04T18:11:26.069+01:002011-06-04T18:11:26.069+01:00I'd love a Crossbill to visit my patch Alan, a...I'd love a Crossbill to visit my patch Alan, a patch tick :-)Warren Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042798315431561018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27062148993749694.post-72046440301415367102011-06-04T13:05:06.931+01:002011-06-04T13:05:06.931+01:00A most enjoyable post Alan and lovely photos.

I love the GSW peeking out of the hole!<br /><br />It does seem a good year for Ox-eye Daisies which is good news for the insects of course.<br /><br />I would say it is a female Common Blue rather than a Brown Argus but I'm sure Greenie will know for sure.<br /><br />I have noticed here that the Small Tortoiseshell has done much better in the last two or three years which is encouraging.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.com
